new and unproved

And then Pete was like, "wait no, I'm not satisfied with this new job, I shall suddenly and rashly fly back to America and get a big fancy American English teaching certification so that upon my return to this inept homeland they shall cower before the might of my mighty qualification!" And off Peter went, suddenly and rashly. The quest has vascillated between Stupendously Unbelievable to Horribly tragic and back and forth (thus inquiries into 'how are things going' are subjective to the momentary sways of the day). An overview would pose Pete precariously balanced on the precipe of either success or experiencing mild mental anguish, or perhaps going to Thailand. Hopefully the outcome shall be announced here later (until then expect his fate to oscillate).

For the Non-Pete (you) here is what he has done in the last 3 weeks.
The Pete parents did not so much ask Pete about how life in Korea was for Pete, but rather asked "well whadya gonna do with your life now?" and so Pete is generally avoiding them. First he went to his brother's workplace (U of H) and used DSL. A better sollution was found by visiting Matt McCaleb in Austin (he's who's writing the words you're reading). Thus there Pete froliced and worked on his TEFL certification and almost (maybe) got a grand job with the Poly institute in Korea. Meanwhile friend Brian visited from Princeton, and Austin was thoroughly enjoyed. An I-pod was purchased. Chagrin. Now the TEFL course must be finished and the possibility of Poly employment looms uncertainly on the horizon. You must ask yourself: Will Pete enjoy his remaining time in America? Will Pete get the dream job? Will Pete complete the TEFL? Will Pez make a Petehead Pez dispenser? This and many more questions to be answered here, and soon! Stay tuned!
